Left to my own devices

It's that time again. Awards for the motion picture industry are flying fast and furious, and the Oscars are just a couple weeks away. In 1998, I began what has become an annual tradition known as The Matt Awards , to showcase what I consider to be the best in film for a particular year. The first awards honored the movies released in 1997. There was a particular reason I started the awards that year.... More on that later. Now, here are the best in film for 2015, as selected by yours truly:

The Oscar nominations were announced this morning, for the movies that were released in 2015. I therefore thought it would be a good occasion to update my Top 10 Films of the Year list. There are still a few movies I'd like to see from 2015, but this list feels pretty solid for the time being. 1. Spotlight 2. It Follows 3. Brooklyn 4. Star Wars: The Force Awakens 5. Mad Max: Fury Road 6. Magic Mike XXL 7. Grandma 8. The Martian 9. Bridge of Spies 10. Room I hope to see The Revenant this weekend. I've long been a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio.
